You reminded to add this:

All my life I received the message that I had to suck it up during my period and maintain my productivity and performance all month long even though a small part of the month I often was not feeling up to par. I was conditioned to show that I was no different than a man and therefore not inferior, a pressure TW have never experienced. Where I tried to minimize and hide the effect my cycle had on my emotions to avoid feeding into sexist stereotypes of women as irrational, TW seem to enjoy reinforcing those stereotypes by proudly declaring how emotional hormones made them. They never had to contend as men with people dismissing their thoughts and feelings by suggesting they are just hormonal and likely still do not as TW.

So it does not seem like a coincidence to me that once men started claiming to actually be women and to experience menstruation and once TRAs started advocating that menstruation is something experienced by men as well as women, politicians started to introduce the idea of menstrual leave from work. It was okay for just women to suffer all this time, but only now that it could benefit men is menstrual leave being openly considered.
